Programs only load the libraries they use, you're unlikely to have all
KDE libraries loaded at once. This can lead to problems if you are
updating KDE and have updated the libs but not the packages. I've had
Konqueror fail to work during an upgrade because of a library mismatch.

The easy way to avoid this is to load all the programs you are likely to
be using before starting the the upgrade. That way you are sure that all
you need is in memory and independent of changes in the on-disk versions.
